I once had a new sweep auger motor ground through the shaft, and it was because a wire on the winding came loose, and got pinched between the armature and magnets (I think I got the terms right - the wire pinched between the part on the shaft that spins, and the stationary part attached to the housing). Made me grateful for proper grounding.
Why would an electric motor ground through the shaft?
